BANCERANG. (From our Correspondent.) RAIN NEEDED. The weather of late has. been very muggy and. oppressive, and a good rain to clear the atmosphere would be welcomed. On Thursday night about 20 -points fell, but. beyond replenish ing the house water supplies, it was of little use. Feed is getting scarce, and a good rain liow would be benefi cial, for it would cause the green feed to spring before the winter. Many : farmers are busy cleaning out their dams and making new channels, and one thing is certain that when the j dams are filled there should be an abundant supply of water. SCHOOL COMMITTEE. !

AGRICULTURAL NEWS. GOOD FARMING AT PINNAROO. Some good yields are recorded in the Pinnaroo district. Off land that was carefully fallowed and cultivated the following returns were obtained :— Messrs. Hunt, 12 bushels to the acre; Edwards, 12 bushels; Naltenius, 14 bushels (also 4 tons hay to the acre from 30 acres); Huckel, 22 bushels ; Johnson, 16 bushels; Flavel, 12 bush els; Wiltshire, 24 bushels, with a va riety named Wordeu grown over 40 acres. These facts are: mentioned because low yields have also been re corded, and some critics have not been slow to point to the failures as providing evidence that settlement lias been hasty. As a matter of fact, the Pinnaroo country has more than Justified occupation, and with such excellent yields as those recorded ob tainable in a year of exceptional wea ther conditions, the settlers who are blessed with capital water' supplies cheerfully look forward to an era of even greater prosperity.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SUDDEN DEATH. ■Mr. Gerald Biss writes in the "Dai^y | Mail":—The world at times gets.out of focus, an accident disjoints the run of thugs; but the death of Mr. Lam bert at Brooklands recently points, a moral. What is the psychology of the question and of the men who live with their lives in their hand and know it, such as airmen and racing motor drivers—men who never know when at two miles a minute they will only have a fraction of a second in which to balance their books of life; before they are hurled into eternity ? j Percy Lambert was naturally proud j of having been the first man iu the history of the world, either on land 01 water, to telescope a hundred miles into an hour, and his ambition was to do two miles a minute for the sixty minutes; but he was fully conscious at the same time that there was on^ a rubber tyre, subject to a terrible strain at such a pace, between himself and death. * He had faced it before, and had the great asset...
